"We can absolutely convert offices to housing. We can do even more if we shorten timelines, simplify the process, and streamline approval. There's no reason we should leave floors and buildings empty indefinitely while the need for new housing is so massive and urgent."

Really cool to see what Zink is enabling.
@goatsarah you should probably keep that closed. The only reason I can imagine a knob next to the stove is a gas shut off valve.
@aspiringcat That's awesome, always more fun to correct someones else work.
@lp0_on_fire the main concern is cost, capacitive buttons are significantly cheaper.
It seems like the majority of medically-recognised #Autistic traits are not autistic traits per se.
They are trauma responses common in autistic people.
I'm "more interested in things than people?" Maybe "things" don't turn hostile on me for unexplained reasons.
I'm dogmatically insistent that nobody can understand my mind but me? Maybe my entire childhood was spent resisting adults telling me they knew my mind better than I did.
This is also why "autistic traits" can seem contradictory. Both "talks about their interests all the time even in inappropriate settings" and "never talks about their interests" can be part of a diagnosis.
Because the latter is a trauma response to having the former shut down.
Is there an untraumatised autistic person?
I actually don't think so. So the map of what autism looks like to clinicians is shaped by our trauma.
And this probably compounds their impression that we're somehow defective, which in turn compounds the attitudes used to break us.
I just wanna be seen as a person.
@malwaretech would you mind making this available in a format that is actually readable?, Reading moving text under time pressure isn't something I am capable of.
